Straight negative scan. I might have to print this one properly!:thumbup:

Me too!
This is a fun picture!
I like how the bottom of that brightly coloured xylophone disappears into the darkness of the background. The colours really POP!

Was Noah asleep when you stole his toy from him then?

Thanks Woodsac, LaFoto!:thumbup:

This was the effect I was trying for but it came out way better than I imagined!:blushing:

Noah was crying & screaming, holding onto my leg whilst I was shooting his noise toy! I had it up on the dining table so he could see it but not reach it! :lol:

Naah! Just kidding.

He was quite interested in what I was doing with the lights & screen but lost interest & fell asleep!:er:

I used the same backdrop as in this shot http://thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=356030#post356030 and just experimented with the lighting and exposure. (Lighting in my case being 2 halogen desk lamps! :lol:

)

that's brilliant! Like Riano said, I've seen lots of 3D Modelling and even attempted it myself (hard!) And it looks like a CG image with an ambient lighting rig! Very neat that it's in fact real! I love how the bottom half just fades away!

Thanks everyone!:thumbup:

Like I said it has come out better than I could have hoped!

Here is another from exactly the same angle & lighting just 2 stops brighter! Completely wrong! :lol:
